any news on toppscollector?

over the course of several months,numerous people have been taken for their bv,trusting someone whom they thought would have been honest,one person has taken advantage of the trusting people and swindled them out of hundreds in bv.gaining their confidence ands telling them what they wanted to hear this clown ended up having his mailbox full of bv.i got burned not too long ago by someone who i found out later went by various aliases,clown beat me out of $300 in bv,told me what i wanted to hear.never again, so anyone else?

    So, you were trading with ToppsCollector and you made good on your end and he didn't make good on his?

    what is bv?

    Do you mean toppscollector or 80sjunkie?

    I recall a thread on another baord where toppscollector had ripped off a number of other members, but then said he was going to make good when the heat was put on with law enforcement getting involved, etc. (I can't seem to locate that thread, but it I believe it was in the buy-trade forum). Did he ultimately come through? I don't remember how many members were affected/involved but it was more than a couple. Any news to report on that matter?

  • he said he was going to send it priority mail and it would be there in two to three days.

    How long ago was that harvo? ToppsCollector's stock is trading at about a penny a share on these boards.

    When was that?

  • it could have been either one of those clowns,who knows im quite sure its the same person,he most likely got banned from the major sites and probably is using the library to still conduct business.

    harvo,

    the question was when did toppscollector tell you he had shipped out the cards you were missing via priority mail?

    That sucks. I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully, this dirtbag will get what he deserves sooner or later.

    My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

    topps apparently contacted one of the guys he rearended, and stated he would make good on his deals. I never got my card from him, and I dont think anyone else did either.
  • this clown needs a pat on the back and a group hug..........get my drift?

    someone who i found out later went by various aliases

    for 2 or 3 thousand dollars, I'd be jumping into my car and paying him a visit.

    I would hope all of you that have seemingly been scammed by him follow up on the matter and at the very least file civil suits against him.

    axtell claimed to be in the know but never elaborated when questioned.

    If a poster feels they were ripped off by topps, PM a mod and they can look up his contact information. Additionally, they can run a quick search to see if he posted under other aliases.

    It really is just that easy image

    He claimed to live in Maryland. Some searches have given an address. The guys who traded with him have an address.

    toppscollector also had some stories to tell about people he knew. If you go back and check his posts he "knew" a lot of people.

    One I remember is that youtube girl that wound up being a hoax, lonelygirl or something?

    Other "friend of friend" stories too.

    I do not think that he is 80sjunkie as some have said.
  • this toppscollector could have easily used someone elses address to post from, he has a thousand diffrent aliases and seems to be most notorious on new sites with new people,guess hes laying low hoping this will blow over but believe me topps or 80 or whoever else you might be this isnt over by a long shot.you feel that you can deceive at will and continue doing it? you will slip up soon, and once your status is found out you may just hear a knock at your door,GET A ROPE.

    Harvo,

    You have been around less than a month (more like a few days) and all of your posts have been about toppscollector.

    Sorry but your constant focus on him isn't making sense. Care to elaborate?

    So let me get this straight, harvo or whoever he is (Toppscollector) comes here and tries to see how the board will react regarding the past trading practices of his?

    That about sum it up?


    I hope this is just a coincidence.
